SRINAGAR: Authorities on Tuesday exempted the lawyers and medical emergencies from the restrictions on the civilian movement which will be implemented for the second time tomorrow in Jammu and Kashmir.
In an order, the divisional commissioner Kashmir said that advocates/lawyers of High Court and all the medical emergencies shall be kept beyond the restrictions.
The order reads that magistrate/facilitators/police personnel present at critical crossing points/intersections of the NH1A shall ensure that the commuters are allowed to pass the highway in a hassle free manner.
The government has barred the civilian movement on the highway twice a week. The move has drawn severe criticism from all sections of the society.
